Evann Guessand (on loan at Crystal Palace)

[nigel]

It didnt work out - sometimes it happens. If we get 30m or whatever the figure  is we have got off lightly  as he massively disappointed  here

I think the expectations are less at Palace, so he was probably relieved not to have the pressure.
I still think he could be good for us. Just takes a bit longer to adjust to Unai’s way

The one thing i did find odd is that unai never tried him up top - he opted for malen instead when ollie wasnt available

Might have been worth trying it but guess we will never know now

He would have watched him every day on the training ground so I’m sure he would have had a feeling he wasn’t better than Malen who wasn’t that good on his own either.

Deft piece of work for his assist, tbf.

It was, yes.

Quite a few people on here observed that he didn't seem to really have the confidence of his fellow players at VP. You'd have thought  francophone solidarity might have helped, but he didn't seem any closer to Youri, Onana, Kamara or Digne than any of the other players - i.e., not very close!

Anyway, he looked assured in that clip. Good for him. Let's hope that he prospers and either makes us a profit or comes back better.

The players definitely didn't rate him.

To be fair, he's shown more strengths composure and ability that we ever saw from in claret and blue there. Maybe it was the environment. Hope he does well. Glad he's not here.

He's just an ordinary lad. Perhaps BMH was too posh for him and he'll feel more at home at Palace.

Keep it up Evann.

Palace, please buy him!

[Toronto Villa]

Having watched his goal have to admit I’m happy for him. Seems to doing ok there and the winner will help his confidence. It won’t work with us but he might be well suited at Palace. Of course it all gets thrown up in the air with a manager change on the horizon. But hopefully he proves himself to the end of the season and secures a permanent move.

Good for him might get into a good run of form

[eamonn]

Clever finish, defence and goalie didn't expect it.

I don't think anyone expected it...

Ba-dum-tish

[eye digress]

Another decent goal last night. Keeper should have saved it, but then it was hit with a bit of venom.

Which isn't an adjective we would readily associate with Evann from his time at Villa Park.

One more chapter in the story of the strange case of Evann Guessand.

[London Villan]

I do wonder whether this was all some clever PSR deal. Bought and sold in the same financial year… hmmmm

[aj2k77]

Is it not a case of him not being weighed down with all the demands Unai puts on the players. Palace are operating at lower midtable level whilst we're trying to extract everything we can from players and finish in the top 4. The demands are huge. Maybe he's struggling with all the information and analysis?
